Interestingly, the secret to purging pet hair emerged nearly 80 years ago. In the May 1946 issue of Better Homes & Gardens, a reader recommended rubbing a wet rubber sponge on the affected areas; a process that rolls up the hair into easy-to-remove balls.

GIVING THANKS IN GEORGETOWN
IT’S OUR 10TH ANNUAL TURKEY GIVEAWAY
What started as a way to give back to the community after the 2016 floods has become one of our favorite annual traditions. This year marks the 10th Annual Evans Moore Turkey Giveaway, and we’re proud to once again help families in Georgetown enjoy a warm meal and a little less stress this Thanksgiving. Every November, we’re reminded that something as simple as a turkey can mean a lot. It’s much less about food and more about community. The best part of the giveaway for us is getting out of the office and talking with our fellow community members. We see familiar faces, meet new ones, and share stories that bring us closer together. In a season meant for connection, these moments remind us just how strong and generous our community is. Since we started the event, it’s grown every year. We gave away 50 turkeys in 2016. By 2022, that number had increased to over 300. Our team hopes
to continue growing the giveaway in the years ahead so more families can benefit. This year’s giveaway will take place on Monday, Nov. 24. If you or someone you know in the Georgetown community could use a hand this holiday season, please call our office at (843) 995-5000. We work with a local organization that connects us with many families, but we want to ensure everyone who needs one gets a chance. We have plenty of turkeys to go around. We’re grateful to be in a position to give back, and we don’t take it for granted. The success of this event year after year is thanks in large part to the support we’ve received from our clients and community. So, from all of us at Evans Moore, thank you for making this possible. Whether you’re receiving a turkey or simply spreading the word, you’re part of what makes this tradition so special. We wish you and your family a safe and meaningful Thanksgiving.
